Re: Update on Barb

Saw Barbs Onco today to follow up on the Pneumonia. After four days of antibiotics shes still running a slight fever and He things it may be an infected port on top of the Pneumonia. They did a couple of blood cultures to confirm and started her on a antibiotic through her port we go back tomorrow to get the culture results and more antibiotics. Hes not messing around with this apparently hes seen this kind of thing before and jumped right on it. Will keep you all informed im not sure if this helps the TDM-1ers out there between the TDM-1 given Tuesday, the Pneumonia diagnosed Thursday, and now a possible port infection Monday Id say we have no accurate info to share as far as side effects of TDM-1
